South Africans Will Be Able To Buy From Ticket Offices In April
LOC CEO Danny Jordaan has revealed that, from April onwards, fans will be able to buy World Cup tickets over the counter in exchange for cash.
This was the news at a press conference at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium, where it was also announced that the city will host 100 days to the World Cup celebrations.
“Purchasing of tickets closer to the process that South African football fans are accustomed to will take effect in April,” Jordaan revealed.
“Then fans will be able to walk in and walk out of ticket offices to make their purchases.
“We acknowledge that the average fan has become frustrated with the current system, therefore we decided to use this method."
Included on the 100 days celebrations itinerary will be the banquet to honour Africa’s 11 greatest footballers such as Steve Kalamazoo, Abedi Pele, George Weah and Lucas Radebe.
Special recognition will also be given to the six African countries that have qualified for the global event, as well as the host cities for putting up 10 world-class venues.
The day’s festivities are likely to end with a football match at the venue. Both Jordaan and Durban mayor Obed Mlaba concurred that it would be ideal to have Bafana Bafana in action on that day, but at the same time agreed that it depended on whether Carlos Alberto Parreira is up for such an outing.

World Cup In 3D
ESPN announced yesterday that they’ll be screening World Cup 2010 games in 3D. They’ll show the opening South Africa vs Mexico game in 3D, and “up to 25″ World Cup games in total.
Now the bad news: You’ll need more than just those big glasses you wore to see Avatar (which you’re supposed to give back at the end, by the way) in order to watch the games. You’ll also need an expensive 3D television and a subscription to the ESPN 3D channel.
So this isn’t for the common fan. It’s very much an experimental, early adopter type deal. Unless you live in Europe. According to the Telegraph, 3D TV will NOT be available in Britain in time for the World Cup, but WILL be available on certain big public screens at FIFA International Fan Fests, courtesy of Sony.
I can think of worse ways to spice up a dead rubber group game.
That said, I’ve never seen football in 3D, so can only imagine what it looks like. My first guess is that it’s confusing, and will take a little getting used to. But I’m all for something new, and if it takes off then maybe we’ll get on board and launch 3D versions of The Offside and WorldCupBlog. I already need glasses to read them, so wouldn’t be a huge change for me.
